Stunt Bikers or Lawless Citizens

Stunt Bikers or Lawless Citizens.

Recent killing of Karan Padey while riding pillion with his friend Punit Sharma while stunt biking on city roads by police is shoddy. Police claimed that the bikers did not stop and pelted stones at the PCR van and the inspector, Rajneesh Parmar, aimed at the tyre but hit the pillion rider. The bullet for the tyre killed the rider Karan Pandey, only son of a lonely mother.

Police justified their action, but was the firing necessary for flouting a traffic rule of dangerous driving.  This is a serious threat to all the two wheeler riders, as the capital is 24 * 7 *365 barricaded and if unknowingly you don’t stop at some barricade , you might get killed.

The police is inefficient in finding how these biker gangs in hoards of hundreds are planning a common destination for their stunts. It seems they are very much inspired by the likes of Fast and Furious , Gone in 60 seconds, they are doing it for fun.



Stunt biking is a sport but practicing it on city roads is lawlessness. Lawless should be booked but should not be killed on roads.

Big Change - Living a Meaningful Life

Big Change - Living a Meaningful Life

The stories of Evan, Mittal and Arunachalam are simply amazing. Living a life for a cause is not easy but is simply amazing. All the three stories, Stopping gendercide, Plight of Nomadic Tribes and Usage of Sanity Napkins, is all happening in today’s world and we all know about this but these people have taken the issues into their own hands for the benefit of a lot more people and yes are definitely living a more meaningful life.
The first story by Evan Grae Davis is about stopping gendercide. Gender specific abortions is on the rise in India, though we have rules that pre determination of sex is illegal and is punishable under the law, it still persists. Mr Davis, a world traveler filmmaker by profession is working towards this cause.
The second story by Mittal Patel talking bout the plight of nomadic tribes, who don’t even have a voter's identity card to prove their identity is astonishing. Government has certainly taken to the cause of serpents than human beings. Amazingly Gujarat, a state which is in news for all kinds of development, this is the other side. A community which earns livelihood by prostitution is heart trenching. By getting 8 women married from the community Ms. Patel and her organization has helped the community to get a life.
The third story by Mr Arunachalam Muruganathan is a success story. A jolly good man, taking the stage to laughter with his anecdotes. As he speaks about his experience of the strange way the chemists behave when asked about a sanitary pad is extremely funny. But yes off course it is still true in our country. Though very little educated his concepts are really interesting. That is the reason he is invited to country's big B schools for lectures.
All the three stories have given us a reason to make our lives more meaningful by helping the society we live in and caring for the same.
